Also known as progestagen, gestagen

Progestogens, also sometimes written progestins, progestagens or gestagens, are a class of natural or synthetic steroid hormones that bind to and activate the progesterone receptors (PR). Progesterone is the major and most important progestogen in the body. The progestogens are named for their function in maintaining pregnancy (i.e., progestational), although they are also present at other phases of the estrous and menstrual cycles.

孕激素(英語:progestogens)是一群具有诱发孕前子宫变化和维持妊娠功能的类固醇激素,包括天然的和人工合成的化合物,最主要的激素为孕酮,主要来源于卵巢的黄体细胞(luteal cells),且是雌激素和雄激素的共同前体。 所有孕激素都有着基于二十一个碳骨架的特征,这种骨架叫做孕甾烷骨架(C21)。与此骨架类比,雌激素具有雌烷骨架(C18),而雄激素具有雄烷骨架(C19)。 孕激素是五大类类固醇激素中的一大类,其他四种分别是雌激素、雄激素、盐皮质激素与糖皮质激素。
